Olive Suede Tarmac Sneakers

The Tarmac is C.QP’s quarter top sneaker. Handmade in Portugal with an Italian leather upper, they feature a calf lining around the heel area, an Italian suede heel tab, a removable inner sole, a metal shank for stability and arch support with several layers of cushioning. The upper is stitched to a natural rubber sole from Margom, Italy and the shows arrive with two pairs of waxed cotton laces.

The Story

Adam Lewenhaupt, founder of C.PQ, felt that the industry was missing a “truly great ‘hybrid’ sneaker that could work well as part of a fairly smart outfit or something more relaxed”. Founded in Stockholm in 2013, Sweden, C.QP – which stands for Conversations and Quintessential Products – was born from simple passion for and of beautiful things. Each shoe starts and ends its design journey in-house and the process refuses to compromise or cut corners. An artisanal angle is top of the agenda when it comes to this brand, and it delivers this in the form of meticulously handmade sneakers, which always maintain a beautifully simple, minimalistic aesthetic.
